ha racier of Mr. King, of New Vork,
who was one of the Committee) authorizes the belief that he answered frankly, that it was his intention to prevent the formation of such States. Such an answer would naturally flow from the lofty spirit which, at a subse quent period, and upon the floor of this Senate, disdaining all disgnise,and discarding all hypocrisy 9 openly proclaimed that the Missouri contest was a struggle for political power, and that he would sooner see Missouri remain for ever a haunt for wild beast?, than to come into the Union on the side of the slave States. - These are two great and signal attempts to prevent the settlement of the West. Otner measures, tending to the sametifect, fill up the long period of her history from that day to this. Refu
sal to vote money for raising troops to defend the early settlers on the Cumberland and Kentucky ; refusals to vote money for holding treaties to extinguish Indian titles; and lately, during the last administration the reservation of iron ore lands, and the withdrawal of a thousand square miles of territory from market, in the State of Missouri, by presidential au
thority, and in violation of an act of
Congress down to the resolution now under consideration, are all measures ol the same class, all tending to check the
growth, and to injure the prosperity of
the West, and an flowing irom the same geographical quarter. Mr. IS. now spoke of the woful improvidence of the new Siates io parting with the right to tax the Federal lands When they came into theUnion, and obtaining no stipulation for the sale of the lands in a reasonable time, and for a fair price. Such improvidence placed them at the mercy of those who are not responsible to them for the votes they give, who are strangers, who live a thousand miles off, and may labour under the belief that tney have an interest in checking their growth This is the weak and dangerous part of our system.
T.his is representation without responsibility. It is taxation without representation, and that in its direst forrft; not of a few pence on a pound of tea, or on a quire of stamped paper, but of land; power to tax it in the price, to demand double price; to do worse, to place it above all pricpj as this resolution proposes to do, and withdraw it from market. Massachusetts acted wisely She sur
rendered a barren sceptre in the West,;
history ofthe past tells them wfiere; tells them to look to that solid phalanx in the South, and those scattering reinforcements of the North East, which, in 1737, saved the navigation of the Mississippi, and, in 1785, expunged the non-settlement clause from the ordinance for the sale of Western lands, and, in these two great acts, saved the infant West from beinc stifled in its birth.

07" The Rev. Mr. Frazier is expected to preach in this place on Tuesday evening next, at half past 6 o'clock. mtm The circuit court, for this county, will commence its silting in this place on the second Monday in April next. The board of Justices, for the transaction of county business, will meet in this place ou the first Monday in May. Public Lands. The disposition ofthe public lands, being a matter of much intereii to our readers, we insert to-day the able speech of Mr. Benton on that sub
ject. It may be proper to observe that
it was this speech, and one subsequently delivered by Mr. Hayne, which drew the leader of the opposition in the U. States' Senate, (Mr. Webster,) into the field of wordy warfare. We purpose giving the speeches of the last'named gentlemen so soon as our limits will permit. The next Census.- We are Indebted to the Hon. H. R. Storrs for a copy of the report of the Committee of which he is chairman, on the subject of the filth census. The committee eslirqate the population 10,650,000, slave?, 1,950,000; total, 12,600,000. Recommend a ratio, ot 50,000, for the representation in the H uee of Representatives, which they believe will not increase that body beyond the number of 225 members. S. Y. Com. Adv.

Her Legislature settles all questions of survey, sale, price, donation; all this done at home, by a Legislature elected by the peoplej and responsible to them. Congress is the tribunal for the other New Slates, and before her they mast appear with petitions, memorials, entreaties, supplications and prayers 5 and hear in return denials, rebukes and reproaches! These humiliatioi s, these injuries go not to the new Slate of Maine; the wisdom, of Massachusetts in holding fast her public land
while Virginia was throwing hers upon the public altar, has saved Maine from them they are reserved for the new States of the West, copious and bitter have been the draughts which these states have had to swallow ; severe are the trials which they have yet to go through, before the census of 1840 shall enable them to vindicate their rights, by the tranquil exercise of superior power. In the mean time, the surveys may be stopped, the sales may pe limited, two-thirds of their soil may be reserved from market, plans may be got up to divide the money which the lands sell for, among the states, by a rule of proportion which will give all the money to the populous states of the northeast; then other plans may be invented to run
up the prices to the highest point, and
Key Wesl. Com. Pof ter has written a letter saying, that "the harbour of Key West, is in his opinion, the best harbor in the United States, or its. territories, to the south of the Chesapeak;" and supports his opinions by numerous specifi

The Quebec Gazette ofthe 1st inst. says Yesterday was the coldest day we have had this winter. The Thermometer in exposed situations fell to 32 degrees below zero. At Kingston, Upper Canada, the quantity of snow which had fallen had not been equalled for several years. The Lake (Ontario) was frozen, and crossing had become general. At Frederickton, N. S. the mercury sunk on the 14 ih January to 40 degrees below zero. Louisville, Feb. 22. Mr. Poinsett, late Minister to Mexico, arrived at New Orleans on the 2d in6t. and passed through Louisville on Saturday last. He was accompanied by Mr. Mason, Secretary of Legation, and suit.

Dec. we published a letter from an Amer-j
ican gentleman in Colombia, giving an account of transactions at Bogota, the seat of government in that country. In that letter it was mentioned that the government were so anxious to get rid of Gen. Harrison, that they had thrown
Mr. Gooding, an American citizen, who had been intimate with him, into prison, and told him that though they had nothing against him personally, they would not release him till the General would name the day of his departure from the city. When the Government was informed by Mr. Moore, the new minister, that the General would leave on a certain day, Gooding was liberated. The government agents told Gooding that Gen. II. was in a plot with MrHenderson to assassinate the member of the supreme council and some others, and that he, Gooding, was to be the instrument to carry the plot into effect, and that they feared if he were released, the people might inflict vengence upon the alleged plotters. When this assassination story was told to Gen. H. be
